From this enquiry we at leaft gain two 

 points of knowledge, that are of confequence. 

 Large farms do not raife the prices either of 

 provifions or labour. This is perfectly con- 

 iiftent with reafon; but the contrary has, 

 like many other circumftances, been taken 

 for granted, in at leaft forty publications. 



In fome places I was informed of the va- 

 lue of fervants' board, warning, and lodging; 

 the following is a review of that part of my 

 intelligence. 



Laftly, before I quit this fubjedl of labour 

 and provifions, I mall draw into one view 

 the prices of labour in the manufacturing 

 towns through which I pafTed; and give you 

 the general average of their earnings, together 

 with the aggregate price of provifions.
